Sounds good, hey you do know you need a door.....

Looks awsome......... Nice welding job on the header.... John

Its nice to have wife like that........ John

Yep it was a good line up, I was rooting for the Camero........ You bet can not wait, SEZ should be really awsome ... John

Good looking car Jon, can't wait to see it in March..... Hey Sparks a longer wheelbase means better control on the other end.......

By the way what kind of fuel pump are you running? Also what size fuel line? Also what size filter at the rear of the gas tank? If it is a holley blue / red /black pump, it needs to be below the fuel tank / or should I say the fuel filter needs to be below the fuel tank in order to fill up with gas then the fuel pump below it some so it can be filled with gas then it should pump fine, sounds like to me it is having to prime itself all the time getting air into the system. You also need to be running at least 3/8 fuel line I would reccomend 1/2 inch. Hopefully your gas tank has a sump ? Just some idea's...... John

This so true, it was a hard lesson I learned many many yarns ago. John

looks good, keep up the good work and looks to be a clean install. Good luck on your project. John

Engine and roll bar looks good, looking forward to some video of it in action..... John

We have always used a GM drive shaft, like one for a camero, need to have the correct front yoke for your tranny, then measure from the end of the transmission shaft to the center of the rear end u-joint flange. Tell the machinist how you measured. My brother Jerry uses a rear adpater that accepts the larger u-joints and fits the 4 hole flange of the rear end. Hopefully he will see this post and chime in with the part number. I think we pay around $55.00 to have one cut and balanced if we supply the parts. My brother Jerry gets a lot of favors done with machinist because he is a rep for a automobile parts supplier. John

I have seen the primary seep gas when the float level is to high. Hopeflly you are adjusting the float level correctly. I have always removed the sight glass / brass plug. Cranked the engine and watch the fuel level. I always set mine a little blow the sight hole, then I press on the fender and some gas should trickle out. Adjust the fuel regulator to about 6 - 7 psi, then with a screwdriver and 5/8 wrench turn the float adjustment to achieve this setting, while loosen the top then turning the wrench. Adjust down for less gas and adjust up for more gas. You will need to keep the top snug while turning but not to tight. Hope this makes since. If the float level is set correctly and it contiunes to leak gas, then the needle seat is not sealing. Could be trash or bad needle seat. Hope this is some help. John

Cool,Looking forward to seeing you and your cars. Jerry

Congrats, How about a road trip in 32 days, for SEZ 8 we all would love to see you again. I don't think we have to many parts to fit that one. Best of Luck. Jerry

Jon, glade to hear you got the motor back together for the big tire car. I looking forward to SEZ 8. Have you made your reservations yet? We have, we will get to the motel around 3:00pm on Saturday. Look forward to seeing you .Jerry

I agree should be a lot of fun, hope we all are safe and run good. John

Nice looking engine in the Big Tire Z, Damn the braid and lines. Looks like it is Nitrous assisted fuel injecting. You know Jon you are going to have to give us something like the break or a couple of lengths. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing both the Zcars run. Should be a Great time. John

I work on cars / 4wheeler / motorcycles etc. for side money. I make the most when I take on a Race car project and have to re-wire or do metal fabricating or Engine building. I am in the computer Industry and make extra money doing cabling etc. Computer sales not much money in it any more / service yes but have to be avaliable plus interfears with my real job. Might work for you. John

Good luck, wishing you the best. John

I agree, we used the combo as well. Lets me know how much vaccum I am pulling. John

Sorry to read about this, I hope it all works out for you. There will be other SEZ's and other cars down the road. It sounds like to me this has been boiling for sometime now for her to just leave without a word. If it all works out then still plan on coming to SEZ, bring her and the child with you, just leave the car at home. Maybe she will see what you were missing and understand maybe not. Good luck to you. John

Mike, Jerry just told me what I just read. You can't call in sick or something....... I was looking forward to see that beast run. Well like Jerry said there is always next time at SEZ#9. John

Mike ,I am sorry to hear about that, SEZ8 will not be the same with out you.But there is always SEZ9. I hope you are enjoying your week off.Keep us posted on your progress with the new injectors. Looking forward to seeing you in Sept. Jerry
